Cranberry Walnut Cookie Balls

Ingredients

1 cup butter, softened (2 sticks)

6 Tbs sugar, ⅜ cup

½ tsp vanilla extract

2 cups all-purpose flour

⅛ tsp salt

2 cups walnuts, chopped into small pieces

½ cup Craisins® dried cranberries, chopped into small pieces

1 cup powdered sugar

Instructions

Preheat oven to 325°.

In a medium mixing bowl, beat butter, sugar and vanilla on medium speed until creamy.

Gradually beat in flour and salt until just blended.

Add walnuts and dried cranberries. Stir.

Using a 1" cookie scoop, or with clean hands, roll into 1" balls and place on ungreased cookie sheets 1 inch apart.

Bake for 15-18 minutes just until bottoms are lightly browned.

Remove from oven.

While cookies are baking, pour powdered sugar into a shallow bowl or pie plate.

Roll 4-5 hot cookies at a time into the powdered sugar until each cookie is well coated.

Place cookies on wire rack to cool completely.
